Hello everyone,
welcome to this week's WIP Wednesday. Unfortunately, I've made no progress on any of my old WIPs.
As you can see from this picture, the word of the week was SCRAPS. My scrap basket is seriously overflowing, so I pulled some out and turned them into colorful potholders and trivets.
I made 3 potholders
and 2 trivets. I made my trivets double sided since I have so many scraps and wanted to use as much of them as possible. Side A (my favorite) :
and side B :
I made these potholders and trivets to protect my new kitchen counters but I like them so much, I've been protecting my trivets and using folded up kitchen towels under the pots. Crazy, isn't it? Please tell me I'm not the only one doing something like that. But, since I barely made a dent in my scrap basket with these trivets and potholders, I'm planning on making a lot more of them in the next few days and actually using them for what they were made for.
Lovely colours! Where are you? Interresting name :)
ReplyDeletevery cute!~
ReplyDeleteThose would make lovely Christmas gifts, and no one would know you were just using up your scraps!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful scrappy projects! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the stripy bindings....!
ReplyDeleteVeeeeery nice! Love the bright colours, and the striped binding is awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I love the greys worked in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've been working with scraps, too, so maybe I could also make trivets and pot holders. Maybe place mats as well. Thanks for the inspiration! They look BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteLove these. Fabulous idea for scraps. But, yes, you should use them. He he he. :)
ReplyDeleteOch, sometimes you just have to go with the flow of the new and exciting and leave your WIPs for a wee while :o) Love these, they look fab
ReplyDeleteSeriously so cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful and I love the way the striped binding really makes them pop! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete:)))) i alwayd ake nice things for the kitchen and my mom always takes out ugly towels and keeps the nice ones just so :))) so, no, you're not alone.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not alone in not using something so cute for what it's intended for. I'm the same way! I absolutely love these!!

ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful scrap collection. Mine needs updated...
ReplyDeletealways a great idea. Last year I picked up the center fabric for hot pads on mark down. I made a total of 18 hot pads that I gave out as Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteI had a ton of 2 inch squares already cut, so that is what I used.
They are beautiful! I want to make scrappy ones now too!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I *ADORE* these!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI read your comment about using the folded up tea towels and just had to laugh! Love it - so typical of most of us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, I have made two of these now as well. They are so colourful and cheerful. I have also used them as an opportunity to practise different free motion quilting styles. I can now do circles, stars and clouds. I have to say the circles were the best fun. I will have to make some more as gifts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI saw these beauties on Pinterest! I love the pretty colors & designs!
